Automatically Create Differential Pairs Based on Polarity Indicators in Net Names

Are you tired of manually creating differential pairs for your PCB design? Look no further!

 Starting from SPB 25.1, you automatically create differential pairs based on the polarity indicators in the net names using a centralized common dialog box.

 Method 1: Using the Menu Bar

1. Go to Logic > Assign Differential Pair in the menu bar.
2. This will open the Differential Pair Automatic Setup form.
3. Enable the check boxes against each Diff Pair Polarity Indicators to select the nets with the respective polarity indicators.
4. If you have custom polarity indicators, enter them against the Positive and Negative fields under the User Defined Polarity Indicators section. 
   
   
5. Add a prefix to the Diff Pair Name if desired. Click the Create Diff Pairs button to automatically create the differential pairs.
   
   

Alternative Method: Using the Constraint Manager

1. Right-click in the Constraint Manager.
2. Go to Create > Differential Pair > Auto Setup.
3. Follow the same steps as above to automatically create the differential pairs.

Tips and Variations:

 The automatically created differential pairs will be logged in the cmtemp.log file. You can customize the polarity indicators and prefix to suit your specific design requirements.

 By following these simple steps, you can save time and effort in creating differential pairs for your PCB design. Try it out and let us know if you have any questions or need further clarification!
